I would gladly trade a dinner date for a soccer field date! Update: Wine On The Weekends Remember when I wrote this post about getting a little too habitual with a daily drink and cutting back to just the weekends? I am happy to say that it has gone REALLY well! I've been on the "plan" since January and have bent the rules about five times. I'm calling that a huge success! My intention was never ...
This simple pearl couscous salad features lemon zest, feta cheese, parsley, and vegetables and makes a delicious side dish or a main course with grilled shrimp or chicken on top. This was my salad of the week last week. I had it for dinner, lunch, lunch, and then dinner again! It's a versatile, all-in-one dish that can be served warm, cold, or room temp. Pearl Couscous I love pearl ...
Before I celebrated the Fathers on Sunday, I sang Happy Birthday to Lauren! Friday Happy Hour + Dinner On Friday night Lauren and Sarah came over for a little birthday get together. We had cheese, cherries, and rose on the porch. And Thai peanut chicken salads for dinner. We watched the sun set and then caught fireflies with Mazey at dusk! The Tooth Fairy Visited ...
Trying to get Little Birchie to smile!! Mazen will be doing three different camps this summer (one of them is a grandparent camp in the Adirondacks with Karen!) But before his busy summer of fun began, I wanted to give him a week with no plans so he could veg out, 1990 style. While it was a little more chaotic than normal having him home a lot this week, it was also fairly relaxing. I shifted ...
Oh haaayyyy!!! I've gotten a lot of questions about the Beautycounter makeup, so here is the post I promised. While the Beautycounter skincare has been a refreshing change, the makeup has been FUN! I am so not a makeup diva, and that is exactly why you should read this post. Because anybody can wear these shades and look natural and put together in five minutes without needing uber ...
When the baby you grew inside of you is big enough to wear your clothes!!! That was logo number 3 of 26?! I should make some modern KERF stuff for 2019! Here's a random post of new finds + thoughts! Bubly Have you seen the commercials for this? They are pretty funny with Michael Bublé. I tried one at the dentist and loved the flavor. I was surprised, however, that the carbonation was quite ...
This post is sponsored by Argentine Yerba Mate This smoothie bowl is as refreshing as a cold pool at noon on a mid-summer day. Made with just four ingredients, it's a blend of frozen fruit and zesty lemon with energizing yerba mate iced tea. Crushed graham crackers add a crunchy topping! I cuddle mugs all winter long, but when summer comes 'round I'm all about the iced drinks. While ...
Good morning + happy Monday! How was your weekend? I always sit down and imagine you guys in all corners of the country - some with sunny, hot weather and others maybe with some chilly rain. And I know some of you are reading on the other side of the planet! In our corner of the earth, we had sun followed by lots of clouds and then finally cold rain. It wasn't the most summery weekend. Friday ...
I have a memory clear as day: I'm sitting in my fifth grade classroom (which must have been particularly significant because it was my last day of my last grade of elementary school) and I'm watching the clock hands move from 2:59 to 3:00 when the bell rings on the last day of the year. The feeling of freedom can only be topped by the last day of my dietetic internship. Today was Mazen's last day ...
Man I drank too much tequila last night. KIDDING! The only thing we're over consuming in this house is watermelon. Watermelon teether Today's topic is black out curtains You guys know I dragged my feet putting up black out curtains. For a few reasons: The cost of the curtains + rods Drilling into plaster walls I didn't want part of my house feeling like a cave I love the ...
